PP packaging film
PP packaging film includes BOPP, CPP and other polypropylene-based films used in printed pouches, wrappers and roll stock.
BOPP is commonly chosen for clarity, stiffness and printing, while CPP is widely used where a softer heat-sealing layer is required.
Choose by function
Choose the PP film type by the job it needs to perform in the final pack.

01 / OUTER ROLEA clear, stiff and printable film commonly used for wrappers, outer layers and laminated flexible packaging.
Cast polypropylene
02 / INNER ROLEA softer PP film commonly used for heat-sealing and inner layers in laminated structures.
PP Film Structures
PP films can be combined with each other or with PET and metallized layers to create different packaging performance.
BOPP / CPP exampleCommon PP-family laminate
A common PP-family laminate for print, stiffness and heat sealing.
PET / CPP exampleMixed-polymer laminate
PET outer print layer combined with CPP sealing film.
BOPP / VMCPP exampleMetallic PP option
Adds a metallized PP layer for metallic appearance and stronger barrier.
Mono-PP pouch exampleRecyclable-design option
PP-family films used together for recyclable-design packaging.
Product applications
PP films are widely used where clean printing, moisture resistance and efficient converting are important.
01BOPP/CPP roll stock and wrappers for dry snack products.
02Printed flexible packs for bakery, dry food, noodles and ingredients.
03Custom pouches using PP-family films where the sealing and barrier requirements fit.
PP roll-stock applicationHigh-speed printed packaging film for compatible automated packing equipment.
Film performance
The film type should match the visual and sealing requirements of the finished pack.
BOPP is often selected for clear, glossy retail packaging.
Suitable treated PP films can support detailed custom graphics.
PP films are commonly used for dry products where moisture control matters.
CPP and sealable PP grades are used where the PP layer must close the pack.
Recyclable-design option
Mono-PP structures keep the main material family within polypropylene for projects designed around a PP recycling stream.
View Recyclable Packaging MaterialsProvides print, stiffness and clear presentation.
Provides the heat-sealing function.
Coatings, metallization, zipper and labels need to be reviewed with the final recycling claim.
Recyclability depends on the complete package and the intended local recovery system.

Custom pouch options
Build the PP structure around the product, packing line and brand rather than choosing BOPP or CPP by name alone.
Full-color brand graphics and multi-SKU artwork.
Different surfaces and visual effects by film option.
Premade pouches or machine film according to filling method.
Clear, metallized or coated structures according to product sensitivity.
Both are polypropylene films. BOPP is oriented for higher stiffness, clarity and print performance, while CPP is softer and commonly used where heat sealing and flexibility are important.
Yes. BOPP and other treated PP films can support custom printing where the chosen print process and film surface are compatible.
Mono-PP structures can be designed around a PP local recycling system where the full package and local recovery system support the claim.
No. Both are polyolefins, but their stiffness, heat behavior, sealing and processing characteristics are different.
